Berlin Water Control is now on a Quarterly Billing Schedule. Current water and sewer rates are always announced in the Berlin Citizen before each billing period. 

Tax payments must be received or US Postal Service postmarked by August 1st (1st Installment Real Estate, Motor Vehicle, & Personal Property bills) or February 1st (2nd Installment Real Estate & Supplemental Motor Vehicle bills) to avoid the accrual of interest. If a payment is received or US Postal postmarked after August 1st/ February 1st, it will immediately be subject to 3% interest (1.5% for July and 1.5% for August/ 1.5% for January and 1.5% for February). Interest will then continue to accrue at a rate of 1.5% per month (18% annually). 

No. The Revenue Collector does not have the authority to waive interest for the owner of taxable property. The taxpayer is responsible to see that taxes are paid when due. No Exceptions. CT General Statute 12-146. 

Call the tax office at 860-828-7023 and we will send you a duplicate bill. If you have an escrow account and the real estate tax bill was sent to you, please forward the bill to your bank. If you own property in town and do not escrow with a bank or mortgage company and did not receive a tax bill, please call our office. Failure to receive a bill does not invalidate the tax or the interest that accrues if the bill is not paid on time.
